Engineering X

Engineering X is an international collaboration that brings together some of the world’s leading problem-solvers to address the great challenges of our age. Its global network of expert engineers, academics and business leaders are working in partnership to share best practice, explore new technologies, educate and train the next generation of engineers, build capacity, improve safety, and deliver impact. It is running four programmes.

Safer Complex Systems

All around the world people rely on critical infrastructures to survive, stay safe and maintain a good quality of life. Much of this infrastructure, for example food and water supply, healthcare, housing, transportation and communication, is made up of complex systems. Safer Complex Systems aims to enhance safety and resilience of these complex infrastructure systems globally by supporting the most impactful interventions where they are most needed. In its first year the programme has been convening and building a community of interdisciplinary, global experts from across sectors through workshops and consultations to better understand the challenges that complex systems pose, and has commissioned the University of York to conduct a Global Review to systematically map the same. This initial study will be supplemented with further work to collectively comprise a Global Foresight Review on the Safety of Complex Systems.

50 Grants, fellowships and programmes

Safer End of Engineered Life

The Engineering X Safer End of Engineered Life Mission aims to achieve safer and more sustainable decommissioning and waste disposal. It is run in partnership with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation. In its first year, the programme has focused on improving safety in the decommissioning of offshore structures and ships where they are most prevalent and present the biggest threat to safety globally. Six projects in the UK and overseas are now in progress to tackle the complex social, environmental and engineering challenges involved of decommissioning ships and offshore structures. Grants of between £50,000 to £200,000 have been awarded.

Engineering skills where they are most needed

The Academy and the Lloyd's Register Foundation have launched a grant programme that aims to fund high impact, innovative projects with disruptive potential for developing domestic engineering capability to build, operate and maintain critical infrastructures safely and/or develop skills and capacity to adopt emerging technologies in low income and emerging economies across the world. This year the programme carried out the Global Engineering Capability Review, a global engineering index of 99 countries’ ability to conduct key engineering activities in a safe and innovative way.
